From one of our many diggin tours in Scandinavia, this Cornelis Vreeswijk album is a must to all fans of European bossa nova. Sabu Martinez, Sture Nordin and Rune Gustafsson providing the backing. Great album and not ...

This treat has taken a while to track down as very rarely accessible outside of Brazil. Hard open drumbreak action on funky big band soul groove. Very rare single only output by what I would assume is the studio band ...

Very scarce promotion only EP release with A-side two full version LP tracks and the flip a medley packed with samba heat. Never seen this little treat before.

Traditional Samba school recording but rather than a 'live' take here you get a studio recording without the background 'noice' of people celebrating the streets of Rio during the carnaval. Cover in shrink, disc is cl...

Solid set of samba dancers on late seventies recording. I like the mid tempo pieces best on this one but some fast and furious stuff to be found as well. Check the enjoyable Pra Que Vou Recordar O Que Chorei for a fee...

Untapped Latin / Brazil beats on small German latino label Castor. Tia Maria is my top choice but there a more useful spins on here. Nice copy but with a info sticker at cover.

A treassure in early samba recordings and always a hard to find record. Clementina De Jesus on finest of form with compositions by Paulinho Da Viola and Caetano Veloso. The title track is marvelous and same goes for N...

Funky MPB with excellent vocals by one of Rio's finest in Maria das Gracas Rallo or Claudia as we know her around these parts.

Seldom seen four track EMI EP release by samba queen Clara Nunes. Highlights in Congada and notably Derramando Lagrimas. Record is EX, not far from NM, cover has small scribble on front but still looks nice.

Later Clara Nunes album that in all ways stays true to her origins with good steady sambas and the odd Sunday chill ballad. Cover looks as it could have been signed by Clara herself but can not guarantee. Text inner ...

Crackin afro latin grooves from the 'Queen of Samba'. Alvacor rates as one of her best albums. Seldom seen Brazil original in strong VG+ condition with a few subtle marks only. Light cover wear.

Wonderful eighties MPB recording with a melodic jazzy vibe. Mellow stuff with few exceptions but all in all enjoayble. Disc is clean EX, cover VG with ring and edge wear. Hard find outside Brazil.

Ultra rare Brazilian jazz on private Alprende Music label, this is not a record that surface outside of Brazil all to often. Led by Chico's mellow guitar and the backing is exceptional. Listen to Luar Do Cacador for a...

Of the later Chico Buarque albums this has to be a firm fave. Catchy Brazilian grooves like O Que Sera featuring Milton Nascimento or the fantastic Corrente. Rare Brazilian first pressing with soft scuffs on disc, cov...

Essential pick for fans of Brazilian music, this Chico Buarque album has a bit of everything from bossa nova, jazz, samba and more. Listen to Chico Buarque Homenagem Ao Malandro. Record and cover in decent VG+ conditi...

Rare samba grooves from Cesar Costa Filho's excellent debut album. Malvada is not bad at all but he really shines on Guarida. Very hard to find picture sleeve single in stunning EX plus plus condition.

Essential pick for fans of Brazilian jazz funk and surely the best album by Cesar Camargo Mariano. Theline up includes Oscar Castro Neves, Ernie Watts, Paulinho Da Costa, Milton Nacimento, Rita Lee, Wando and many mor...

Cazuza is huge in Brazil, probaly more a popular pick in rock circles but this studio album has a nice mix of styles on offer. I partcularly warmed to the slow pieces like Um Trem Para As Estrelas or Faz Parte Do Meu ...

Funky Brazilian boogie groover on very hard to find single only Polydor release. Superb condition, borderline NM in fresh Polydor sleeve. Small scribble on label.

Promotion record for Brasilian culture in Europe. Some unusual choir goes samba on this little gem. Light dirt on wax causing distortion for 30 seconds of quiet intro on one of the four tracks.
